Un-musical it - That Would Be Enough (Hamilton)

(Hamilton enters stage left to find Eliza sitting on a bench. She stands to greet him, her stomach swollen. She is pregnant.)511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWTH0Na912

Hamilton: ...How long have you known?511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGRkqd8w1z

Eliza: A month or so.

Hamilton: Eliza, you should have told me. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwiczHkWqt

Eliza: I wrote to the general a month ago-511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0WXkHd6WG

Hamilton: No.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWvxxMrxPW

Eliza: I told him to send you home. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMQYpmKk2

Hamilton: (quieter) You should have told me...511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pt2Ugh5PV

Eliza: Well, I'm not sorry. I knew you'd fight until the war was done-511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlWGKviHzo

Hamilton: (muttering) The war's not done...511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreKvCrdUjq

Eliza: (continuing) But you deserve a chance to meet your son. You don't know how lucky we are to be alive right now. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosbDCmlat1

Hamilton: (bitter) Will you relish being a poor man's wife? A poor man unable to provide for you? For a child?511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqHVsALPon

Eliza: I relish being your wife. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe7weKQQQA

(There is a moment of silence as Hamilton looks at Eliza in surprise)511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkusXPqaDk

Eliza: Look around. Look at where you are. Look at where you started. You used to be an immigrant from a place no one knew about, trying to gain an education in a place you weren't respected. Now, you write for General Washington, a man who is going to bring us independence. How can anyone not respect you now? 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbAhkpXsi8

Not to mention, the fact that you're alive is a miracle. You've lived twice as long as expected. Just please, stay alive, that would be enough.

And if this child has a fraction of your smile or a fragment of your mind, (laughs) look out world! That would be enough. 511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjOxgnJllo

I don't pretend to know the challenges your facing, the worlds you create and erase in your mind. But I am not afraid. I know who I married. I don't need you to be famous or the most successful man in America, just as long as you come home at the end of the day, everyday...that would be enough.

We don't need a legacy. We don't need money. And if I can grant you peace of mind...if you can let me inside your heart...511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3tHxJ615A

There will be a narrative written about you one day. Let me be a part of it. Let this moment be the first chapter, the one where you decide to stay...

Oh, and I could be enough! And we could be enough. That would be enough...

(Lost in the moment, Eliza looks at Hamilton again. He is crying. Another beat, and they embrace.)511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHi8SkVxJC
